Michelin Tires not available
Pete:
If you are doing breakfast/lunch/dinner at a restaurant, I highly recommend the Tamarisk (Best Western River Terrace) on the east side of the river south side of highway - directly across from the John Wesley Powell River Museum. Great food and great service. We use this restaurant on the Elderhostel tours of the National Parks in Utah. Are you heading for Canyonlands and Arches?
